    Clear command prompt history from within batch.


    I have a batch, running in "Command Prompt", that prompts for a password. For any number of reasons I can't guarantee that the window will close before exposing that data (arrow keys browse history list).

    Is there a way to keep the password out of the list or is there a way to clear the list from within the batch itself?

    Thank you.

    :)

    command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

    Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?

  3. Since I got Windows 10, my computer goes to sleep after just a few minutes of inactivity and I cannot clear the history of previously visited websites

    Hi,

    Thank you for getting back with a reply. Appreciate your effort.

    When it comes to searches, if you would have created and saved favorites in the browser, it will display or prompt the URL when you enter it on the address bar. However if you didn't create such settings, clearing the browser history should work.

    Having stated the above, I suggest that you follow the steps below just to check if you are able to clear your browser history

    • Click on the More actions (…) icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    • Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    • Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files
      and click on Clear.

    This issue may also happen due to system file corruption. I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly
    follow the below given steps:


    • Press Windows key + X, select
      Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.

    • In Command prompt type sfc/scannow and press enter.

    • Restart the computer.
    Ref: Using System File Checker in Windows 10



    If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state
    or were irrecoverable, then I suggest you to try the following steps to employ the DISM command lines:


    • Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.

    • In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth



    • Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
    Keep us posted on Windows related queries and we will be happy to assist you further.

    Thank you.
